Morning y'all.
Thanks for the coffee.
I may try to make a migration to a toy store as well today. I’m thinking of trading my M70 featherweight in to snag something in a cheaper caliber to shoot. The 280 is a great caliber, but at $1.70 a pop, it’s stretching my wallet a bit thin. Cabela’s had a nice early model Ruger M77 in ‘06 a while back, and a few other items of interest.
I would stay away from the early Ruger M77's, if the reports I have heard are true. Not the best accuracy because of the barrels. Later, Ruger started making better barrels.
Got home at 20:45, yesterday. Had a good time despite going rained out yesterday. I shot when it was starting to sprinkle. Micah shot after me when it was raining harder. Then we decided to stop and see if it would quit. Waited over an hour and eat early lunch. It didn't stop completed until after 1400. Therefore, only Al Weaver, Micah and I shot yesterday.
It was a good shoot on Saturday. Micah hit the 500 yd target 2 of 10 with the sporter 1901 Krag. I hit 4 of 10 with the same. Quickfire hit it 5 times with his Sharps. Al hit it 4 time with his 1889 Schmidt-Rubin. Al had a shorter time so he beat me out of second place.
I disassembled and cleaned guns 'til 0300. Therefore, I am going to take a nap it a bit, then do some verk from home.
Tis 52 and overcast. "Steady light rain this morning. Showers continuing this afternoon. High 57F. Winds NW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 90%."
